Financial, Food, and Medical Services

The Department of Human Services provides assistance in the form of financial, food (or nutritional) and medical programs to help individuals and families in Weld County that qualify.

Visit the Colorado PEAK Eligibility and Application Kit website if you are interested in finding out if you and your household may qualify for public assistance. Completing an inquiry does not commit you to applying for assistance, nor should an inquiry result stating your household "may not be eligible" for assistance keep you from applying.

Weld County manages these programs under the administration of the Colorado Department of Human Services and the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing.
